🚨 Please check your Steem Account Authorities

Hello Steemian!

This post is written not to get you panic or accusing this service owner of fraud.
This is only a precaution reminder as I have encountered several cases where users who give out their Active key to this site will be a victim of their funds being transferred to this account
https://steemitwallet.com/@molly2/transfers
and finally into this account https://steemitwallet.com/@robertl13/transfers

If you checked on the victims authorized dapps they mostly come from several old dapps that are no longer active on Steem.

Beware of using steemdb.online curation trail service...

What raised my concern is that they recently could getting fund from newly created account like @tarpan and his community account @zero-to-infinity and when I checked they only give authorization to @steemauto.app owner of
https://steemdb.online/
In order to use this site service, they require users now to give their active key too. I think last time we only needed to give our posting key. I don't know why they request another active key in order to use their service now.

I would like to request an explanation from the creator of this site https://steemdb.online/ @steem-supporter one of Steem top witnesses regarding this issue that is related to his site.
For safety reason I think it is better to revoke the access of this site to your account by going to this site tools provided by @steemchillers here https://steemit.com/steemworld/@steemchiller/steemworld-update-new-tool-for-managing-account-authorities

You may also checked the list of dapps that you have give authorization from this site too https://ecosynthesizer.com/@yourownsteemaccountname
scroll down and look at left side on Authorities section.

I hope to hear from @steem-supporter soon regarding this matter.
Please stay safe everyone, it is just sad to see the funds that some of you been working hard on just disappear like that.

Regards..
cryptokannon

Anything is possible when it comes to money. I think we need to deal more with such controls, to form a team and community to fight hacking and fraud.
Everyone has to bear responsibility, money cannot be made without responsibility.

Thank you for this very valuable information .. I'I am a dormant .. but since I reactivated on Steemit this month I haven't used any app other than Steemworld. How do I delete an app that I might have used before, and I don't know what app I have connected to my Steemit account anymore. Thank you @cryptokannon

Please check here https://ecosynthesizer.com/@aafadjar I see you have given lot of old and not working dapps authorization there. Please revoke it by following the instruction in this post https://steemit.com/steemworld/@steemchiller/steemworld-update-new-tool-for-managing-account-authorities

then change your master password by going to your steemitwallet page then click change password.
